    Summary

    Q’s eyes performed that flick down, and up, over that torso he knew well – could identify in a line up, or a body-bag, and back up again, to catch 007 performing the same action over his own, much scrawnier body.
    Q was willing to let this pass - if only Bond hadn’t walked past, and performed the same look again, this time lingering on Q’s bare chest.
    *
    Q doesn't want Bond to fetishise him, even if he does want the agent, rather badly.

    Summary

    Bonds says, "We should get married," as if he's simply commenting on the weather, and the circuit board Q's been fiddling with bursts into flames.

    The two incidents are not unrelated.

    Bond and Q get married. It's not what it looks like.

    Summary

    In which Bond is a retired naval commander with too much house, Q is a mechanical engineer with too many sisters, and they have lengthy conversations about decorum, bonnet-ribbons and philosophy in Regency England.

    ~

    “I just thought you might go pay a visit," his mother suggested.

    “Me?” Q asked, aghast. “Pay a visit?”

    “He must be starved for proper gentleman company, now that he’s settled in so far from London--”

    “I am far from proper gentleman company.”

    “--and perhaps if you befriended him he could introduce you to some nice heiresses.”

    “Heiresses?” Q repeated, baffled and horrified. “What in the world would I do with heiresses?”
